Any dog who gets to ride in a car seat, with its head sticking out the window, can consider itself lucky, since the odor overdose guarantees total happiness for the pet. However, the LaFerrari shotgun-riding dog in the clip below takes things to the sky.
The labrator (we're no dog experts, so don't quote us on this part of the story) enjoys resting his head on the door of the 950 hp hybrid and this isn't the only reason we've awarded it the accolade mentioned in the title above.
Pay attention to the driver of the Maranello halo car and you'll understand this dog is owned by @racewife, who's used to getting around in her LaF.
We're talking about Kristine, the wife of Google VP Benjamin Sloss Treynor. Don't let yourself be fooled by the mild city driving maneuvers you see in this clip (hat tip to Redditor LunchboxJT for the footage).
We're talking about a driver involved in Ferrari's Corse Clienti (customer racing) program, who gets to double her LaFerrari experience on the street with FXX K stints on the track.
While her husband still races his 599XX, Kristine gets to work on her driving skills in the new FXX K. Sure, chivalry is not dead, but there's a deeper reason for this, as the Google VP has explained in the past: “Honest answer? I'm typically 2-3 secs/lap faster than her on track day, and giving her a car which is 3 secs/lap faster than mine (at Fiorano, anyway) puts us on even footing. She's improving faster than I am however, so soon I'll have a runaway bride to chase on-track. And that's a great way to spend the day together.”
While, on many occasions, a dog and its owner play the lookalike game, we can't help but notice that, this time around, there seems to be a slight connection between the pet and the 950 hp hybrid. It all has to do with the appearance of its fur and the Giallo Tristrato (that's triple-layer yellow in Italian) hue of the Ferrari.

There's quite a bit of room in the garage that is this aficionado's heart, so factory-condition classics and widebody contraptions with turbos poking through the hood can peacefully coexist.
